Omeprazole x 2 twice a day

I already know I have a hiatus hernia but I've noticed food was sticking half way Down my chest, and it was very painful until the food goes down.

I went for an endoscopy and they informed me I have gastritis , but they asked me to put my omeprazole up to 2 twice a day, but since I have my stomach has blown up and it's so painful? Could this be the omeprazole that's doing this does anyone know??

carol thats what happened to me i was on losec but was asked to go on omeprazole after 2 weeks i started to feel sick all the time so went back on losec im waiting to hear of the ccg to see if i can stay on them as there more exspenive been on losec for 15 years now they want me to swap to save money its not right i can have private script for 51 pound a month now back on losec feel great again you need to see your doc and explain what is happening 

Hi

Thank you so much for your reply.Did your stomach swell to?, I get hungry but when I eat I get bad stomach pains, and my stomach bloats out.

I think I will try and get back to the doctor to see if he will put me on Losec??

Thank you again.  Carole

Hi

I am on Omeprazole they are ok to be honest but when the Hospital put me on 4 a day my stomach never liked them as my stomach used to swell and I seem to feel sick, however since cutting the dose down to only 2 a day my stomach seems better.

I think you will be fine on them, let me know how you get on with them?.  C
